Default MegaStar5 Error

I don't know if this has been found by others, but MegaStar v5.0 incorrectly
identifies NGC 90 & NGC 91. MegaStar ID's a 3'.0x0'.9 galaxy at RA: 00h 21m
51.7s, DEC: +22d 24.02m as NGC 91. The NGC/IC project and NED both identify NGC
91 as a star located 2' south of the above position. The object at the above
coordinates is NGC 90, a 13.7 magnitude spiral, 1'.9x0'.8 in size.
